"Hi, I'm Mara Keith-Hunter for Expert Village. Today I would be talking about how to clip a horse. The next thing I would do is clip the entire leg. When I say the entire leg I just mean the white area. This is optional not everyone likes to do this but you can. If your horse a white sock clipping the entire white sock it is just going to help you keep it clean and once again just keep that outline nice. You want to start by making sure that it is all nice and clean here. So just like we have clipped the basic start, just with these basic areas but instead you are going to keep going. You are going to work all the way up to the leg. Keeping even pressure so you have a nice even clip and you are going to keep clipping all the way up. Then when you get up to the chestnut area you are just going to let it thin out a little bit so you would blend the hair in. So there is not a sharp line from when you started the clipping until you end. So just blend in this hair and you just going to take the pressure off a little bit. Like so. "
